ResumoAbout the altarpiece of Fongrave in Agenais (1645-1659) : the little known workshop of maître Simon. The altarpiece of Fongrave Priory (Lot-et-Garonne) was for a long time considered to belong to the Spanish school of the beginning of the 17th century but, thanks to the discovery of unpublished documents in the archives of the order of Fontevrault, it can be dated between 1645 and 1659 and attributed to the workshop of carver Simon, a craftsman who had probably been trained in Toulouse and had settled in the neighbouring town of Sainte-Livrade. To this wokshop, probably active from the beginning of the 1640’s to the end of the 1670’s are attributed several pieces of religious furniture today lost but well documented, among which the altarpiece of the chapel Notre-Dame du Bout du Pont in Villeneuve-sur-Lot (1658-1660) and perhaps those of the convent Notre-Dame de la Rose and of the Benedictine priory of Sainte-Livrade.
